[Edit]Making the Cupcakes

1. Prepare your preparation space.
   
   • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
   • Line a cupcake tin with paper cupcake foils.
2. Mix together the butter and sugar until it's creamy.
   
   
3. Add in the granulated sugar, cake flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger to the bowl with the butter and sugar.
   
   
4. Mix in the egg whites and buttermilk(1/4 cup).
   
   
5. Beat this mixture somewhat and continue adding the remainder (1/2 cup) of buttermilk. Mix the entire time.
   
   
6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all unbeaten cupcake pieces don't stick to the bowl.
   
   
   
7. Spoon out enough batter to fill each cupcake foil about 2/3 full.
   
   
   
8. Spoon out the remainder of each cupcake into their apportioned foils.
   
   
9. Place these cupcakes in the oven for 16-18 minutes.
   
10. Take the cupcakes out once they are ready. Make sure that you test them to check for doneness by taking a toothpick and sticking it in, and when this toothpick comes out clean, it is ready!
    
11. Place all cupcakes on a wire rack to cool.
